The existing backyard facing the lake was an unusable lawn with a steep slope and overgrown planting bed. db Landscaping LLC installed the backyard landscape that was designed by Russell Stott. The design called for replacing the old pavers underneath the deck with tightly jointed rectangular blue stone pavers that was extended toward the lake and transitioned to an informal patio with turf filled joints between the blue stone pavers. The retaining wall near the beach was rebuilt utilizing the existing materials, and the wall by the deck was reconfigured to provide access from the deck to the lower patio.

Located in, Summit Park, Park City UT lies one of the most efficient houses in the country. The Summit Haus – designed and built by Chris Price of PCD+B, is an exploration in design and construction of advanced high performance housing. Seeing a rising demand for sustainable housing along with rising Carbon emissions leading to global warming, this house strives to show that sensible, good design can create spaces adequate for today’s housing demands while adhering to strict standards. The house was designed to meet the very rigid Passiv House rating system – 90% more efficient than a typical home in the area. The house itself was intended to nestle neatly into the 45 degree sloped site and to take full advantage of the limited solar access and views. The views range from short, highly wooded views to a long corridor out towards the Uinta Mountain range towards the east. The house was designed and built based off Passiv Haus standards, and the framing and ventilation became critical elements to maintain such minimal energy requirements. Zola triple-pane, tilt-and-turn Thermo uPVC windows contribute substantially to the home’s energy efficiency, and takes advantage of the beautiful surrounding of the location, including forrest views from the deck off of the kitchen.

Resting upon a 120-acre rural hillside, this 17,500 square-foot residence has unencumbered mountain views to the east, south and west. The exterior design palette for the public side is a more formal Tudor style of architecture, including intricate brick detailing; while the materials for the private side tend toward a more casual mountain-home style of architecture with a natural stone base and hand-cut wood siding. Primary living spaces and the master bedroom suite, are located on the main level, with guest accommodations on the upper floor of the main house and upper floor of the garage. The interior material palette was carefully chosen to match the stunning collection of antique furniture and artifacts, gathered from around the country. From the elegant kitchen to the cozy screened porch, this residence captures the beauty of the White Mountains and embodies classic New Hampshire living. Photographer: Joseph St. Pierre

On the opposite wall, a buffet cabinet in knotty raw wood and black iron hardware mimics the materials. Display, storage, and décor creates continuity across the expansive dining room area. Updated dining room stylish cabinet for storage adds height to the space. Artwork above the chevron patterned wood doors offer directional intrigue towards the ceiling. The potted plant beside the furniture provides warmth and helps ground the vertical height. All materials are natural, which emphasizes the brightly colored orange accents.

A direct vent fireplace anchors the lounge, surrounded by plaster volumes built out to allow for a concealed TV within, a backdrop for art, and ledges at varying heights for display. The lounge is served by a dry bar with storage for glasses and liquor, and a beverage refrigerator. Lights above provide ample output, dimmable as desired, and aimable toward the plaster surfaces to highlight art or display.

This modern kitchen was designed keeping potential buyers in mind. The design was geared towards allowing two people in the kitchen at once and having an island big enough to make entertaining easy.
